Bright orange light flew quickly through air, hovered, and flew out the atmosphere quickly when a plane approached.

Was walking to car in church parking lot when a bright orange light was seen moving quickly through the sky, hovering what seemed like several miles over an apartment complex. It appeared to be very close, close enough that the shape of the object was almost discerned: a dark, almost oval shape, engulfed in a bright orange light that did not flicker or change, almost like an aura over it. A friend and myself observed the craft for approximately four minutes.

At this point it had slowed and came to a complete stop, hovering for the duration of about four minutes. The intensity of the light did not change. What appeared to be a jet aircraft very close to the ground (as though having just taken off) approached from the left towards the light at what appeared from our position to be a 130 degree angle. There was about a mile's difference between the orange light and the plane. As the plane, the orange light moved directly upward and shot away at incredibly fast! speeds. We watched the light get smaller and smaller as it flew up through a patch of clouds and disappeared out of the atmosphere. The time it took from the light to leave its previous location to leaving the atmosphere was approximately five seconds. To my knowledge, there is no man made aircraft that can accomplish those speeds. Nearly 30 minutes later, I observed three planes flying in the area the light had been previously. We heard no sounds from the UFO,
